The Title Reading Program
North Ward Elementary School's Title Reading program serves students kindergarten through fourth grade needing extra assistance in Reading. Placement is based upon a variety of objectives/assessments which often include the following : classroom performance, classroom teacher/parent request, and the yearly MAPS testing results. When students are referred for the Title Reading Program, a collaboration of instructors will consider all testing results and then decide if the student needs futher individual/small group instruction. If this is decided upon, the student is sent to me and I will then do a more indepth assessing/testing of my own. After all assessments are completed, the classroom teacher, the student, and parents/guardians will be notified of testing results and then the decision of utilizing the program can be made.
